in storms  
thunder barks
and windows rattle-
brave dogs
cower and howl
This is my second attempt at a tanka. I'm still not completely comfortable in the style. I noticed after the fact that it combines two things found in Laurence's [link] tanka - storms and dogs. It's actually a coincidence I think. It just happens to be storming here right now and my poor dog is going bonkers. :)

As always I'd really love to hear from the haiku and tanka community how this attempt works in terms of the style.
